3 1. Introduction Joining an Axis Webinar is a quick and easy way to gain additional knowledge about more than just new products, and technology. These webinars allow attendees to view visual presentations while listening to a presenter, participate in discussions and ask questions. To join a webinar, a computer with Internet connection and if the meeting is set up for the use of a traditional conference call, also a telephone is required. Attending a webinar is free of charge. The only cost occurring is for the telephone call, if this is used, which in most cases will be a local telephone call. Axis is using a webinar solution built on the Adobe Connect 8 platform utilizing either embedded Voice Over IP or combined with a conference call solution provided by PGI (former Premier Global). The invitation will clearly identify if the meeting is using VOIP or a traditional conference phone call. This guide provides instructions on how to join an Axis webinar as well as preparation required prior to joining. The guide is divided into three sections: 1. Joining the visual part of the webinar 2. Joining the conference call 3. Asking questions during a presentation 2. Preparations Participation in the visual part is supported in Windows, Apple and Linux environments, and requires Adobe Flash 10.1 or higher to be installed. Attendance using iphone and ipad by Apple is supported by installing an additional application, which can be downloaded without cost from AppStore. To download Adobe Flash, please visit: By installing an additional Add-In, users will receive improved functionality and performance. But for general attendance, this is not required. To download Adobe Connect 8 Add In, please use this link: You can verify your computer s ability to attend a meeting by doing a connection test found at this link: If the meeting is using Voice Over IP through the Connect Pro-platform, please ensure that you have working loudspeakers or headset connected to the computer. 3

4 2.1 Joining the visual part Once ready to join the session, which should be done 10 minutes prior to the starting time, please click on the Join the meeting link found in the invitation. This link contains the correct address for the meeting. If the meeting will use audio provided through the meeting system and Internet, please ensure you have headset or loudspeakers connected. When clicking the link, you will be taken to the login page for the meeting. Please enter your correct name in the Guest window, which will be displayed to the host and other attendees, and click Enter Room. The host will be notified of your arrival and will grant access to each person who is to participate in the webinar. If the meeting will use internet-based audio through the application we recommend that you once you have joined the meeting perform an audio test. This will verify and fine-tune the audio functionality of the computer to work with the webinar system. Just select the option from the menu and follow the instructions in the Audio Setup Wizard. As part of this test, you will be required to indicate if you would like to activate your microphone (and web camera if available). If you do not want to do this, you can cancel the test. If you would like to a tend verbally, you will have to select Allow. 4

5 2.2 Joining the conference call If your meeting will be using a conference call for the audio part of the meeting, this will be clearly indicated in the invitation. If no dial-in information is found in the invitation, the webinar will use Voice over IP, in what case the following information is to be ignored. If the invitation holds dial-in information, please find instructions on how to join the call below. Start by dialing into the session using one of the numbers found in the invitation or in the below table. Once connected, you will be asked for a pass code which should be found in the invitation.

6 2.3 Providing feedback and asking questions during a presentation While in the presentation, the presenter will indicate if verbal questions are to be addressed right away or at the end of the session. To improve the audio experience, the presenter may mute the call for attendees while the presentation progresses, and open the call up for verbal questions at the end. Attendees can always provide feedback to the presenter using the feedback options in the menu, useful if/while the call is muted. Attendees can easily mute audio by using the mute button in the interface. When mute is active, this is indicated in the upper right corner of the screen. In addition to verbal questions, which will be heard by all attendees, there is also an ability to provide written questions to the presenter privately or to everyone in the meeting. This can be done by using the Chat-part of the window. Type in your question (or comment), select the recipient from the drop-down menu and click the Enter button. The presenter can then decide to answer the question in writing, or repeat the question verbally to the audience and answer it. Depending on which layout is being used by the presenter, this chat window may not be visible during all parts of the presentation. 6
